I am sure it must be an option, but is it possible for speech to text to work on the Tab S?
i.s I speak my text messages and it types the words for me. I know it works in Google Now, but how about in the other applications, like text messages/facebook etc?
I know my old Desire phone had the option..
I know Swype keyboard has a Dragon speech to text option. I don't know how well it works but it does work with any app.
I think the Google keyboard also has a google voice typing option. Again I don't know how well it works since I never use it.

try the new app Voice Typing Keyboard VTK. it lets you input text anywhere you can with voice. there is no microphone button to push, just say "listen" or "spelling" when in a text field to start dictation. you can move cursor, do editing formatting, insert symbols punctuation etc all with voice too. has an on-screen keyboard too if you need it. since I do most of my typing with voice, so i hide the on-screen keyboard most of the time

Basically there are a lot of people with the same problem.
When we hold down the magnifying glass and say "Call someone" the person isn't dialled and instead a google search page is displayed. The search terms on this page are "Call someone"
Its almost as if the phone recognized the word call, but ignored its responsibility to actually call the person, and instead just thinks we want to search google for these terms.
I have a hunch it down to some of us installing the android keyboard to obtain voice input, before another method to obtain the feature was realised.
So my question to you suffering with this....
How did you enable voice input on your desire?

Sometimes it works for me, sometimes it ignores me.
ie sometime I say "dial xxx" and it calls them, other it does a google search. Sometimes I say "directions to xxx" and it opens directions/maps - others it google it again.
Unfortunately saying "what can I say" doesn't tell me anything - what I really need is some documentation on the keywords / commands required but I can't find reference to them anywhere.
Anyone know of any?
Thanks, M1
Press the magnifying glass and say nothing and it brings up search. Say something and the same happens.
Fixed
Maybe it has something to do with the local settings? I can choose the language and country > English(Netherlands), but not English(UK/US) or something..
So yes, I can't get it to work either..voice search 2.1 and android keyboard installed..
Have you actually installed the voice app? You are long pressing the mag key? The voice app mike is coming up?

Is Voice Search 2.1 a more recent version than the one pre-installed in the Desire? When I check my applications I get 'Version 140' under Voice Search....
It isn't pre-installed at all on the Desire, or wasn't on mine. The reason it doesn't work is because it isn't installed (in UK)
Soooo i JUST found out that the google search can be used to make calls when my sister tried to google something and it started calling a friend.
what other cool commands are there that the phone will act on?
for completion sake the command was
"Call <name>"
if you have multiple names or names that are similar, such as christine, christina, kristen (i just said call chris) it will bring them up as options which is pretty nifty.
The options are limited right now. I know Froyo will greatly expand on this. Allowing you to do a lot more than just call. I am assuming compose text messages and much more.
Here is what I use:
"Call <Persons name>"
"Navigate to <location, address, name or zip>"
Those are the only 2 commands I know of. Everything else will result in a search. You can get apps that will allow you to compose SMS or emails to hold you over till Froyo.
If you are using the voice dialer app you can use "Open (app name". For instance in the car I use "Open Pandora".
I don't think it works with the search button, but if you use the voice dialer it does.
Hi,
While I have had my Evo for 5 or so months, I had a question about using voice dialing. On my old Windows Mobile phone, I could just launch voice command & say "Call Jill at Home".
When I hold the search button on the phone & say the same thing, it either searches google, or it gives me an option to dial someone not in my phone list (some random store for example).
Is there a proper way to make this work? I figure if MS could do it, it shouldnt be a problem on Android.
Thanks,
Rich

Are your contact saved as google account? If not then you will need to them re-saved as google accounts. Also try this: when you press the search button, press and hold it down. Mine gives me two options: voice search and handcent quick compose.
Im using MS exchange & the defaults contacts application. Are you saying the only way to make this work properly is to import my contacts into my Gmail account (which I only use for the market access not email)?
THanks,
Rich
I don't know what I have done.
I use K-9 for email, and if the pen was out it came up with a lined section where the keyboard normally is and I could write with SPen and it would transcribe to text.
I don't know what I did but now I only get keyboard and no way I can find to use spen to to text.
I'm sure this is simple, thanks for the help.

Found the problem.
In "input" while the Samsung keyboard was set as default, somehow the Google voice was checked.
Unchecked it and not when the keyboard comes up there is the option to SPen to text.
Is there a text to speech function in the Note 10+. Looked but can"t seem to find it. Have it on my V40.
Settings>Accessibility>Screen Reader, turn on voice assistant and in the settings below you can make your changes and will see text to speech for adjustment of settings for that.

Tried it but can't seem to get to work for messages only. I usually carry the phone in my BOB and need to hear the text vocalized.
